Rick Simpson Birding Services

Returning home after a long day in the field with Ola Sandberg, a friend from Sweden, I received a phone call from Elis telling me to immediately go back out again as there was a Black Skimmer on the local beach. We rushed off, Ola got some good shots of it flying along the surf and skimming in the approved fashion. The bird then flew out into the bay. It suddenly dawned on me that I could probably see it from the apartment, so a second twitch ensued,  back home. Arriving home Elis already had the telescope set up and after a couple of anxious minutes we found it out over the bay; apartment list moves to 81.
